Hi Franck, I believe that's been fixed in version 3.0.
At least, i'm unable to reproduce the problem. Can you confirm this? thanks, -Pascal On 5/1/06, franck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Package: mail-notification Version: 2.0.dfsg.1-3 Severity: normal Hi, Just to inform that mail-notification takes a lot of cpu when it cannot reach the host on which the mailboxes are. Results are then like: ps aux | grep -i mail-notification f 4749 94.3 0.8 44416 8664 pts/2 Sl+ 10:17 3:01 mail-notification How to reproduce: - my mailboxes are on distant hosts. I need internet connection to reach them. my internet connection go through eth0. - $ ifdown eth0 - $ mail-notification - it will start eating all cpu. Approx 50% are used by the system Top indicates: Cpu(s): 53.3% us, 42.3% sy, 4.3% ni, 0.0% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si - this situation last until it can reach the mail-boxes - $ ifup eth0 - internet available but mail-notification keep eating all cpu. I guess the duration is roughly the delay between mail-check. - once mail-notification check the mailboxes (window indicating new mails appear), cpu consumption returns to normal. So I guess there is some loop inside mail-notification that just keep trying reaching the host until it succeeds. There should be a delay inside this loop. What is strange is that once internet comes up again, mail-notification still eat up all cpu until it really check for emails. Looks like it keep trying reaching the host, but just to contact him due to previous request, but it actually check for emails only after the 'delay between mail-check' is reached. So there must be 2 loops. That's just my guess. Note that this can be linked to bug #334767 'mail-notification: CPU usage shoots up when checking mail box over ssh'. However I did not use ssh. Hoping you can see a solution. Should you need more info, tell me how to obtain them and I will provide them to you. Note: in case it is important, mail-notification checks 2 mailboxes with IMAP and 1 with POP3.
